According to web.de Amy Winehouse will write and perform the song to the next Bond film "Quantum of Solace"

 

And the Pilot Episode of Star Wars The Clone Wars, which apparently will be settled between Ep2 and 3 won't air on TV but instead gets a cinema release. With the US release marked for 15.8.2008 and the German release surprisingly a day earlier, the 14th; if we are to believe treknews.de

That's a rather good choice, she would definitely fit with the James Bond titles. Though since Goldfrapp were rumoured to be doing it last time, I've been hoping they'd get asked.

A sequel to The Incredibles would have been much better than Cars 2, but it's good to see Disney going back to making films based upon fable's and fairy tales.

Disney's line up wasn't looking too exciting to me until I realised that King Of Elves is infact adapted from a Philip K Dick short story, his only work in the field of fantasy. Should be interesting to see what Disney do with it, but i'd love to see Pixar tackle one of PKD's novels.

 

A Pixar adaptation of "Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said" would have classic written all over it.

winehouse. fuck.

 

It's only a rumour. Nothing's been confirmed yet. Tony Christie was rumoured to be doing Casino Royale's theme tune for months, until they announced Chris Cornell was doing it in July 2006. I'm sure we'll hear some more concrete information in a few months.

 

If it is Winehouse though, let's hope she doesn't get a cameo, like Madonna got in Die Another Day.

DreamWorks has acquired rights to the Japanese manga "Ghost in the Shell" with plans to adapt the futuristic police thriller as a 3-D live-action feature.

Story follows the exploits of a member of a covert ops unit of the Japanese National Public Safety Commission that specializes in fighting technology-related crime.

 

Created by Masamune Shirow, "Ghost in the Shell" was first published in 1989. It went on to generate two additional manga editions, three anime film adaptations, an anime TV series and three videogames. The second anime film, "Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence," was released in the U.S. by DreamWorks in 2004.

 

Avi Arad, Ari Arad and Steven Paul of Seaside Entertainment are attached to produce and brought the project to the studio. Jamie Moss has been tapped to pen the adaptation.

 

Universal and Sony were also chasing "Ghost in the Shell," but Steven Spielberg took personal interest in the property and made it happen at DreamWorks.

 

" 'Ghost in the Shell' is one of my favorite stories," Spielberg said. "It's a genre that has arrived, and we enthusiastically welcome it to DreamWorks."

 

DreamWorks prexy of production Adam Goodman said "Ghost in the Shell" is a property "that epitomizes 3-D live-action motion picture possibilities."

 

Avi Arad is at the forefront of comicbook-based material, having produced the three "Spider-Man" films, the three "X-Men" movies, the two "Fantastic Four" picss and the upcoming "Iron Man" and "The Incredible Hulk."

 

Moss' writing credits include "Street Kings," which bowed Friday, and "Last Man Home," in development at Universal.

 

Other animes that are turning into movies are:

Astro Boy

AKIRA

Battle Angel

DragonBall Z

Evangelion

Gatchaman

Hellsing

Monster

Speed Racer

Voltron

20th Century Boys

I'd like to see how a GitS live-action film would be like. It's the sort of anime that would work as a live-action film, but I can't imagine a real-life version of the characters, like the Major or Batou. :blank:

 

Do you reckon the Tachikomas will be in the film as well? I'd like to see that. :smile:
